AN: Exist21 Here! With a new chapter and guys I'm going to be less active since I'm be more focusing on my schoolwork and another is the tiring part time job. Anyway hope you will all enjoy the Chapter!
Chapter 10
Okay I need to recap what just happened. Luke just confessed to me that he was the one who stole Zeus Master bolt or glowing stick of doom along with my ancestor, Hades Helm of Darkness...and the fact that he completely forgot to who he gave it to since his memory was wipe out. I suspect it's Kronos who done it. Anyway, shit just really hit the fan.
"You're really fuck up aren't you?" I said to him.
"Geez, really want to guilt trip me don't you." Luke said with a guilty look on his face. We were towards back to camp. Well at least the dude is guilty in what he did.
I shook my head and said. "No, I don't blame you. You were manipulated by Kronos along the fact that you got deep hatred towards the gods so, I'm surprise yes but the same time I kinda suspect that you were behind it." I said to him.
"What do you mean by that?" Luke asked.
"Well, you malice aura that screams 'I'm evil' since I can detect auras. Anyway, our problem is who has now has Zeus glowing stick of doom and Hades helm of darkness." I said as insulted Zeus weapon. I heard Luke chuckle at this.
"Really? Glowing stick of doom?" Luke asked.
"What? It's just a giant stick with lightning effects that can zap people." I said to him.
"You really wants to insult the gods don't you." Luke said. I stopped at my tracks and look at him seriously.
"Luke, like you said The Olympians are the reasons why the demigod's life is miserable. I agree with in bringing them down but not just your plan that would only cause death." I said to him and Luke looks at me confuse.
"Then how do plan to bring them down?" Luke asked.
"From the inside. I will try to gain some reputations as I do some impossible or ridiculous quest and succeed it. I'm sure that I would get some of the primordial attentions well I hope about it. And that's when I will start recruit some demigods, minor gods or powerful beings. When I get some help from one or two of the primordial gods. If I can do that. I can be sure to bring down the gods…well mostly Zeus since I plan him going to Oblivion while the rest of the Olympians except a few…I'll think about it them later." I said and I saw Lukes eyes widen in shock.
"That's brilliant! You also gain some of the minor gods help and the same time the Olympians will think you are loyal to them since you continue to work with them." Luke said and I nodded at him. Looks like he started to see some parts of my plans. "But wait. How will you be sure that getting a quest?"
"I have inside help in Olympus. Zeus is blaming Poseidon and I will be sure that he will make one of Poseidon sons will be forced to be do the quest. That's the time I will be joining the quest." I said to him.
"Poseidon son, who is Poseido-" Luke eyes widen in shock. Looks like he realize who I was talking about. "You mean to tell that Percy is the son of-"
"Yeah, Luke but I need to keep quiet about until he finally claims him along with mine since you already now know who I am." I said to him. Luke nodded in understanding.
"Are you going to tell Chiron on me?" Luke asked with a worried tone. I shook my head and saw the surprised look on his face.
"No, you will be joining the quest also. It will be your redemption for what you did. I'll keep my mouth shut about it. I don't want to make the Hermes cabin be pointed as the reason to nearly causing a war." I said and I saw that Luke flinch and look down to the ground.
"Sorry, I'll try to help anyway I can." I said to him.
"Right, I'll be counting on you Luke. Anyway, I hope that keep quiet about my plans for bringing down some corrupted gods." I said to him. Luke nodded and smiled at me.
"You have my word." Luke said. I nodded at him. Soon we finally arrived back at camp and said farewell and headed to our respective class.
That night after dinner, there was a lot more excitement than usual. It was time to capture the flag. When the plates cleared away, the conch horn sounded and all stood at our tables. Campers yelled and cheered as Annabeth and two of her siblings ran into the pavilion carrying a silk banner. It was about ten feet long, glistening gray, with a painting of a barn owl above an olive tree. From the opposite side of the pavilion, Clarisse and her buddies ran in with another banner, of same size, but gaudy red, painted with a bloody spear and a boar's head.
I was beside Percy and Percy turned to Luke who was a few inches away from him and yelled "Those are the flags?"
"Yeah."
"Ares and Athena always lead the teams?"
"Not always," Luke said. "But often."
"So, if another cabin captures one, what do you do— repaint the flag?"
He grinned. "You'll see. First we have to get one."
"Whose side are we on?"
"We've made a temporary alliance with Athena. Tonight, we get the flag from Ares. And you are going to help." Luke explained.
"So…what's the plan?" I asked to Luke.
"Ask Annabeth. She and her siblings always makes the plans. I already gave Percy assignment. I don't know what's yours." Luke said. Of course. Athena children are born strategist and tacticians. They will provide the battle plan. I really don't feel like going to Annabeth so I'm just going to help Percy in whatever plan she's up to.
The teams were announced:
Athena had made an alliance with Apollo and Hermes, the two biggest cabins. Apparently, privileges had been traded—shower times, chore schedules, the best slots for activities—in order to win support.
Ares had allied themselves with everybody else: Dionysus, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus. Dionysus's kids were actually good athletes, but there were only two of them. Demeter's kids had the edge with nature skills and outdoor stuff but they weren't very aggressive. Aphrodite's sons and daughters they weren't too worried about. They mostly sat out every activity and checked their reflections in the lake and did their hair and gossiped. Hephaestus's kids weren't pretty, and there were only four of them, but they were big and burly from working in the metal shop all day. That, of course, left Ares's cabin: a dozen of the big kids.
Chiron hammered his hoof on the marble. "Heroes!" He announced. "You know the rules. The creek is the boundary line. The entire forest is fair game. All magic items are allowed. The banner must be prominently displayed, and have no more than two guards. Prisoners may be disarmed, but may not be bound or gagged. No killing or maiming is allowed. I will serve as referee and battlefield medic. Arm yourselves!"
He spread his hands, and the tables were suddenly covered with equipment: helmets, bronze swords, spear, and oxide shields coated in metal.
"Whoa," Percy said. "We're really supposed to use these?"
Luke looked at Percy as if he was crazy. "Unless you want to get skewered by your friends in cabin five. Here—Chiron thought these would fit."
Luke was helping Percy with his Greek armor. I was chuckling at the scene. "Man, something tells me that we are going to have so much fun." I said. I was also given my own set of armor and it was really light for me. But I decided to remove the shoulder pads of the armor since it will limit my hand movements. I have my twin swords in my hands and was ready to battle.
Annabeth yelled, "Blue team, forward!"
All cheered and shook their swords and followed her down the path to the south woods. The red team yelled taunts at them as they headed off toward the north.
I saw that Percy was catching up with Annabeth. I decided to eavesdrop. "Hey."
She kept marching. "So what's the plan?" He asked. "Got any magic items you can loan me?"
"Just watch Clarisse's spear," Annabeth said. "You don't want that thing touching you. Otherwise, don't worry. We'll take the banner from Ares. Has Luke given you your job?"
"Border patrol, whatever that means."
"It's easy. Stand by the creek, keep the reds away. Leave the rest to me. Athena always has a plan." Annabeth pushed ahead, leaving Percy in the dust.
"Okay," Percy mumbled. "Glad you wanted me on your team."
Why do I have a bad feeling that Percy was going to be pulverized? I think it's better that I'll guard Percy in the shadows in case he needs back up.
The games had already began and it was night time and I was completely bored as hell. I was above the tree in case Percy ever get ass handed. I look at the battle from above and saw that Annabeth forces were advancing towards the enemy flag. I continue to look around and saw something moving into the forest. I reinforce my eyes with magic to get better view and I saw Clarisse and her 4 siblings are heading towards to where Percy was. Why the hell Clarisse would headed this way? The flag is way over there. Unless they-My eyes widen realization to what Annabeth was going to do. She set Percy up. Shit! I knew that something wrong in this plan.
I immediately jump down from the tree and landed beside Percy. Percy was completely surprised by my sudden appearance and fall to his butt off.
"Woah! Arashi? Where you came from?" Percy said as he stands up and pick up his shield and armor.
"We got company." I said as I pull out my two swords. Suddenly, five Ares warriors came yelling and screaming out of the dark. I saw Clarisse was the leading them.
"Cream the punk!" Clarisse shouted. Her eyes glared through the slits of her helmet. She brandished a five-foot-long spear, its barbed metal tip flickering with red light. Her siblings had only the standard-issue bronze swords. They charged across the stream.
I immediately charges towards them. One of them swing his swords towards me and I easily dodge it and delivered kick to the gut knocking the wind out of him and followed by strong chop to the neck, knocking him out to the ground. The next one came towards me as he delivered a roundhouse kick but I easily dodge the attack and swing my sword and hit the helmet, sending it flying away. The guy growled and swing his sword horizontally but I easily block the attack with my one of swords. I look to my back and saw another one was coming towards me.
CLANG!
I was able to block it with other sword and now I was currently held down by two guys. But I have to say. They don't have much strength for being a children of Ares. I look back and saw the other attempted to kick me in the leg. I quickly block the kick with my own leg which leave me standing on my right leg. I quickly saw another leg was going to kick me.
I quickly spun around in the air and did Street Fighter move that I learned just by watching it. I started spin around the air and started kick the two the face as I spun around the air. After hitting them at least 3 times. They were completely out cold. I landed safely on the ground and look to where Percy was.
I saw that he was currently fighting Clarisse and looks like a got beaten up some moments ago with sword cut on his arm but was able to fought back. Now it was one on one battle with Clarisse.
I saw Clarisse kept coming, the point of her spear crackling with energy. As soon as she thrust, Percy caught the shaft between the edge of his shield and his sword, and he snapped it like a twig.
"Ah!" Clarisse screamed. "You idiot! You corpse-breath worm!"
She probably would've said worse, but Percy smacked her between the eyes with his sword-butt and sent her stumbling backward out of the creek.
I heard yelling, elated screams, and saw Luke racing toward the boundary line with the red team's banner lifted high. He flanked by a couple of Hermes guys covering his retreat and a few from Apollo behind them, fighting off the Hephaestus kids.
"A trick!" Clarisse shouted. Looks like she finally realized that it was a stupid trick. She should have just headed straight to the flag. "It was a trick!"
They staggered after Luke, but it was too late. Everybody converged on the creek as Luke ran across into friendly territory. Other side exploded into cheers. The red banner shimmered and turned to silver. The boar and spear replaced with a huge caduceus, the symbol of cabin eleven. Everybody on the blue team picked up Luke and started carrying him around on their shoulders. Chiron cantered out from the woods and blew the conch horn.
The game was over.
"We won!" I heard Percy and as he run towards beside me. We were about to head there when suddenly my instinct started to sense something I quickly turn around and pointed to where my sword.
"Alright come out!" I shouted from the bush.
"Not bad, heroes." I recognized that voice. "Where the heck did you two learn to fight like that?" The air shimmered, and that person materialized front of us. It was Annabeth and looks like she was holding a Yankees baseball cap as if she'd just taken it off her head.
I narrowed my eyes at her and was about to talk when Percy beat me to it.
"You set me up," he said angrily. "You put me here because you knew Clarisse would come after me, while you sent Luke around the flank. You had it all figured out."
Annabeth shrugged. "I told you. Athena always, always has a plan."
"A plan to get me pulverized." Percy said and I could tell that he was pissed.
"Your plan was a stupid one. If this was real war. Percy would have died, then again you only saw him as a pawn like a chess piece huh?" I said to her. This girl really thinks like Athena which really pissed me off.
"I came as fast as I could. I was about to jump in, but-" Annabeth said but I cut her off.
"Just shut up" I said to her "I don't give a shit! Like I said if this was a real war. One of your comrades would have died. You should have considered one of your subordinate's feelings. Remember that there is a chance that they will turn on you." I said to her. Annabeth just glares at me and I just rolled my eyes in response. Stupid Athena pride.
I saw that she looks back at Percy and I look at it also then I noticed his wounded arm.
"How did you do that?" Annabeth asked
"Sword Cut," Percy said. "What do you think?"
"No. It was a sword cut. Look at it." Annabeth said
The blood was gone. Where the huge cut had been, there was a long white scratch, and even that was fading. As he watched, it turned into a small scar, and disappeared. Looks like his regeneration start.
"I—I don't get it," Percy said.
Annabeth was thinking hard. She looked down at his feet, then at Clarisse's broken spear, and said, "Step out of the water, Percy."
"What—" Percy was confused. I decided to watch on how Annabeth will discover Percy godly parent.
"Just do it." Annabeth ordered
Percy came out of the creek and immediately felt bone tired. His arms started to go numb again. He almost fell over, but Annabeth and I steadied him.
"Oh, Styx," Annabeth cursed. "This is not good. I didn't want ... I assumed it would be Zeus..."
Then suddenly I heard a howl through the forest. The campers' cheering died instantly. Annabeth drew her sword. There on the rocks just above them was a black hound the size of a rhino, with lava-red eyes and fangs like daggers. Shit it was a Hellhound! I noticed that it was looking straight at Percy.
"Percy run!" Annabeth shouted as she tried to step in front of Percy but the hellhound was too fast.
It leaped over her—an enormous shadow with teeth—and just as it hit Percy, as he stumbled backward and dig it's razor-sharp claws ripping through his armor. But before hound could do anything more. I immediately draw my gun and aim at Hell hound with reinforcement magic on the bullets.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The hellhound was shot and was got off of Percy and landed into the ground.
I look at Annabeth and ordered her. "ANNABETH, TAKE PERCY WITH YOU!"
Annabeth nodded and move towards Percy and take him away from safety with Luke came by the scene and started to help Percy. Soon I was facing the Hellhound alone. The campers were watching from the sideline and from the look on their faces. They were scared in facing the Hellhound.
I look at hound with a smirk on my face. It's time to pull out the big guns.
I opened my dimension pocket and pull out a giant sword. The sword was black but it was made out celestial bronze that was only colored black. There was a small magic circle in guard of the sword that will act as a marker for me to teleport thanks to Hecate teaching me some teleportation magic.
I had the blade on my right hand while in the left was my gun. The hound and I started to circle each other, waiting for each other to make the first move.
"Come on, come at me boy!" I taunted the hound. The hound growled at me and let out a roar and jump towards me. I immediately started shooting it.
BANG!
BANG!
Shit the bullets aren't working. I quickly rolled out of the way and quickly stand up and grabbed the handle with two hands. I saw the hellhound was charging at me with great speed. I saw that it jumps towards and was only a few inches away from me.
BAM!
I quickly reacted and kicked the hellhound upward in the stomach sending flying in the air. I quickly got up and with a roar I throw the weapon with all my might and sending it flying towards the Hellhound. The Hellhound move in air was able to dodge the sword. I smirked at this.
I activated the magic seal on the sword and I suddenly was above the Hellhound. I grabbed the handle of my sword with two hands.
With a war cry I brought down the blade and split the hell hound into two. Soon the hellhound turned into gold dust…and I'm started to falling down from the sky. I quickly throw my sword into the ground and quickly teleported safely to the ground.
I look at everyone and saw that everyone was looking at me with shock look on their faces and it was so quiet but eventually someone broke the silence.
"That was…AWESOME!" one of the campers said. Soon waves of praises coming down towards me.
"How did-"
"That was incredible"
"He's so hot."
I just gave a baffled look on my face on last comment. I look around and saw many of the girls from all different cabins have a predator look on their face while girls from Aphrodite cabin was blushing madly or drooling at me or had their rape face on.
Please no more fangirls! By fates please no more fangirls! I stared to pray Hestia and Hecate to prevent me to have fangirls but alas my prayer was ignored as I saw that many of girls still had the same look on their faces. Which made me mentally curse the fates or Zeus for my stupid luck.
Soon I saw Chiron and Mr. D came by the scene.
"Di-immortals!" Chiron said. "That's a Hellhound from the Fields of Punishment. They're not supposed to here."
"Someone summoned it," Mr. D said. "Someone inside the camp."
Clarisse heard it. She pointed at Percy and yelled, "It's all Percy's faults! Percy summoned it!"
"Be quiet, child," Chiron told her. I quickly move away from the scene and run towards to Percy who was with Luke and Annabeth.
"You alright Perce?" Luke said and Percy just let out a groan.
"You're wounded," Annabeth told Percy. "Quick, Percy, gets in the water."
"I'm okay." Percy manage to speak
"No, you're not." Annabeth said. "Chiron, watch this."
I saw Percy step back to the creek, the whole camp gathering around him. Soon I saw that Percy wounds on the chest started to heal. Then I heard some of the campers gasped I immediately look up and saw a green light appeared above Percy. And there was the symbol on it. A three-tipped spear: a trident.
Look, I—I don't know why," Percy said, trying to apologize. "I'm sorry."
"Percy," Annabeth said, pointing. "Um ..."
By the time Percy looked up, the sign was already fading, but he could still make out the hologram of green light. Poseidon has finally claimed his son.
"Your father," Annabeth murmured. "This is really not good."
"It is determined," Chiron announced.
All around him, campers started kneeling along with me, even the Ares cabin though they both didn't look happy about it.
"My father?" Percy asked, completely bewildered.
"Poseidon," said Chiron. "Earth-shaker, Storm-bringer, Father of Horses. Hail, Perseus Jackson, Son of the Sea God."
Soon I saw another bright light appeared in camp. I quickly look up and saw that symbol started to appear above me as I stand up. Looks like my bitch mother will started to claim me now.
Soon the first symbol reveal to be largest and it was a symbol of an Owl.
The second one was smaller and to a symbol of a Twin torches.
The third was same size as second one and it was a symbol of the Trident.
The fourth was same size as second and third symbol and it was the symbol of a Golden Helmet.
The last one was surprised me the most. It looked like The comprised eight arrows in a radial pattern. Whose symbol is this?
"A-Athena…you're my brother" I heard Annabeth. I look at her and saw the shock look on her face.
"He has also has the symbol of Hecate, Poseidon and Hades." Luke said as he looks at me with surprise look on his face. I knew that he was acting since he already knew my lineage.
"And last one?" Clarisse asked. "I never saw symbol like this. Whose symbol is this?"
I saw Chiron look at Mr. Dickhead. I think Chiron knows that Symbol.
"This is symbol of Chaos (Khaos)," Mr. Dickhead said. All campers looked at him in confusion while I look at him surprised. I'm related to Chaos? "He is the first immortal, the void from which everything has emerged, the oldest and strongest of the immortals."
"It is determined," Chiron announced. "All hail Arashi Uzumaki-Namikaze, the son of Athena, a descant of Hecate, Poseidon, Hades and…Chaos." Chiron said. Soon the campers were kneeling in front of me. Looks like my story as a claimed demigod is about to begin and plans to bring Zeus down. I know it.
AN: Arashi finally had been claimed and now he has Luke as his ally for his plan for bringing down Zeus and most the Olympians. PLEASE Review, Favorite and Follow the Story and us! Reborn123 and me.
